it surprisingly did not want to add overwatch characters at all and it took forever to eventually add Tracer

To be fair, if nominations opened for a 128-entrant character battle here today, the resulting bracket probably wouldn't have a single Overwatch character (or League character either, though).

So here's your perfect 128 character field for the ultimate 2023 character battle courtesy an AI that I guess knows better

It's interesting to me, at least, to consider the snubs from this field. For example,

Among absent entrants of character battles past, CATS, KOS-MOS (who's only missed the one with vote-ins since her first game's North American release), and Ness tie for the most appearances, at eight a piece; Duke Nukem follows at seven, then there's several snubs with six. Princess Peach only has five contests to her name, but imo the Mario movie makes her warrant special mention.

Among consistent presences, Commander Shepard, GLaDOS, and Neku Sakuraba have each made all four contests they've been eligible for, the first two with consistently high seeds. Ike, Lloyd Irving, Miles Edgeworth, Ness, and Zidane Tribal have the longest active streaks of any snub, and the former's only been absent from 2006 since his introduction.

The strongest snubbed veterans in conventional circumstances are likely Pokmon Trainer Red and Squirtle, though the latter missed 2018 anyways. 2B's not quite on the same level but would still be a shocking snub.

Also, the Doom Slayer's essentially both a recent character who the model could reasonably expect to fare well and an "iconic" character who's been missed previously. ...And instead of any of the above, there's two instances of Tails.
